Liberalism (much like the murder and theft it is responsible for) should be socially discouraged by individuals in the free market. Since most business owners are conservatives, we should join together to exclude liberals from society; perhaps this would cause many liberals to think about their life choices and what they advocate for.
The crew I work with can’t afford to snub liberals-we bid the job, and if we get it, we provide the same customer service as we do to conservatives-albeit through gritted teeth. I also add what we call in private a “nuisance fee” of 10% of the total price of the job-the extra charge is there to cover the extra time and trouble brought by liberals and other customers that nickel and dime you to death...
If I’d been the tow truck driver, I’d have made sure she paid cash, right now and I’d have added that nuisance fee, too-but that is just me...
Mixed feelings about that. Yeah, serves her right. But not really Christian behavior. Maybe asking her that, since she is a socialist, why did she not call on the government for help instead of a capitalist like himself. And then kindly provide the service, maybe changing a heart in the process.
But, again, she did deserve it.
Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't buy from Germans and Japanese during WW II...good for them.
The other thing I would have taken into account if I were the tow-truck driver is the fact that the family mechanic had recommended me.
I agree it is the Mr. Shupe’s business to run as he sees fit, but if a friend or acquaintance of mine recommends me, I would keep in mind that I would be putting that other person in a bad place if I treat a recommended customer in that fashion.
I might have had to bite my tongue, do it with distaste, but I would have done it, because I didn’t want to put my associate in a bad position through no action of his own. It’s bad business. But, as I said, it his life and his business..
We can obviously draw extremes and say “Would you provide services to one of the 9/11 hijackers or Hitler, etc” but that isn’t really what this is. It is, at best, dealing with a stupid, unthinking person. And there are plenty of those, of all types and political affiliations.
Whatever else this tow truck driver may be, he most certainly is not a gentleman — or a Christian in my book.
Asheville is uber-liberal so what did the tow truck driver expect in lezzie-city a Cruz supporter?-)
“Call the government.”
Good one.
He should have towed her. She might be ignorant but it’s the American thing to do.
